Rosalind Franklin was a Cambridge University alumna whose cutting-edge research forms the bedrock for how we understand DNA today. Rosalind was passed over for recognition during her lifetime. We were inspired by her story as a woman who sought to change, challenge and question the world as she saw it and we wanted to name our bag for women who will continue to do the same.
